Exactly. When a company wants to build a new plant somewhere (or
relocate an existing one) they typically go where they costs are
lowests so that they can remain competative. Different states are
willing to advertize their low tax rates and even offer special
packages to attract the businesses to their state. This is good
competition and if forces the states to be competetive and be
efficient in spending money.

Businesses have a fiduciary responsibility to the stockholders
to make decisions that result in the company being profitable.
